A Welcoming Space in a Beautiful Place.               Newbold House

Our mission is to develop, practice and teach skills for sustainable living, in harmony with ourselves, each other and the earth.

Newbold House is a beautiful Victorian mansion in the north east of Scotland set in extensive organic gardens and surrounded by woods. It provides home to our resident community and our guests.

We invite you to come and join us to experience what sustainable living means at Newbold. Whether it be just for a few nights as a bed and breakfast guest, a longer stay on one of our programmes, or if you choose to hire us as a venue for your workshop or event, our community is always delighted to welcome new friends and old alike.

As one of our recent guests said: "Before I came to Newbold I didn't realise that community had anything to do with sustainability. Now I realise, that it is at least fifty percent." - David Hunter, November 2010
